The recognition of LpxC inhibitors as potential antibiotics could revolutionise the management of sepsis in veterinary patients if their unknown biological properties are widely evaluated in suitable animal models

Current studies continue to show that UDP-3-O-((R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetyl glucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) inhibitors such as pyridone methylsulfone hydroxymate 1 and 2a (LpxC-2) downregulate the lethal effects of sepsis initiated by multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDRGNB) by curtai...
